Inciting incident

The catalyst is the incident that calls the protagonist s dramatic action to life. It is sometimes called "the inciting incident," e.g., the little boy rescuing the magical balloon in The Red Balloon, or the breaking of the rope as the hero is about to be hung in Incident at Owl Creek Bridge. [Pg.48]

Not to be confused with the inciting incident, the point of attack is where you, as the filmmaker, enter the story. It s generally agreed that this is one of the hardest decisions to make over the course of... [Pg.55]

Very young children do not have effective defense mechanisms to protect themselves from suffocation injuries. In adults, raised CO2 levels incite more and more strenuous attempts at respiration. In infants and young children, this response is not present. During suffocation incidents in infants, if the initial attempts at respiration fail, an increase in respiration effort and agitation is not observed. [Pg.2012]

As discussed before in the case of nucleic acids the authors have also considered the incidence of the interfacial conformation of the hemoproteins on the appearance of the SERRS signals from the chromophores. Although under their Raman conditions no protein vibration can be observed, the possibility of heme loss or protein denatura-tion are envisaged to explain a direct interaction of the heme chromophores with the electrode surface in the case of the adsorl Mb. extensive denaturation of Cytc at the electrode appears unlikely to the authors on the basis of the close correspondence of the surface and solution spectra. Furthermore, the sluggish electron transfer kinetics measured by cyclic voltammetry in the case of Cytc is also an argument in favour of some structural hindrance for the accessibility to the heme chromophore in the adsorbed state of Cytc. This electrochemical aspect of the behaviour of Cytc has very recently incited Cotton et al. and Tanigushi et al. to modify the silver and gold electrode surface in order to accelerate the electron transfer. The authors show that in the presence of 4,4-bipyridine bis (4-pyridyl)disulfide and purine an enhancement of the quasi-reversible redox process is possible. The SERRS spectroscopy has also permitted the characterization of the surface of the modified silver electrode. It has teen thus shown, that in presence of both pyridine derivates the direct adsorption of the heme chromophore is not detected while in presence of purine a coadsorption of Cytc and purine occurs In the case of the Ag-bipyridyl modified electrode the cyclicvoltammetric and SERRS data indicate that the bipyridyl forms an Ag(I) complex on Ag electrodes with the appropriate redox potential to mediate electron transfer between the electrode and cytochrome c. [Pg.49]

The present endeavour in the form of a book is a brief sojourn in the fascinating world of symmetry that dwells in patterns, crystals and the physical laws and that which decors and governs this universe. It is true that in the short life-span of human beings, the symmetries in objects, incidence and the phenomena that happen to exist in front of our eyes every day attract the attention and absorb the minds of inquisitive individuals. The vastness of the ocean, the expanse of the meadows, the wonderful symmetry of blooming flowers and their petals of innumerable colours and the endless starry sky have been inciting a quest in the mind to know this wonderful world we live in. [Pg.127]

Testing the patient s tolerance by extending and rotating the patient s head for 30 seconds while watching for nystagmus, nausea, or dizziness has sometimes been recommended. However, this screening test, known as the DeKleyn test, may actually incite an incident and frequently yields no accurate information. [Pg.673]
